Over 15,000 people packed the Los Angeles Sports Arena as Fidel V. Ramos, president of the Philippines, extended a theme of unity to the Filipino-Ameri-can community, asking them to put the Philippines back into their hearts while he establishes it on the global political and economic map.
"We have entered into a new beginning in the Philippines to put the Philippines back on the map, right in the middle of Asia and the Pacific ... not only on the economic map of Asia and the Pacific, but also on the middle of the political map of the United States," said Ramos, on his first visit to the United States since he was elected in May 1992
to serve a six-year term.
Ramos, a 42-year veteran in government, said Filipino-Americans, making up the second-largest group of Asians in the United States, should hold a common awareness and a shared vision, and a commitment to excellence to create unity and growth as a people.
"Filipinos are capable of great things . . . and even grander things," Ramos said. "Your unity will be a great value to your country."
This brief visit to Los Angeles came on the eleventh day of a national tour that has already been to Seattle and San Francisco. Ramos met with President Bill Clinton yesterday in Seattle and will travel to the White House to talk further about eco-
nomic issues and plans for a large economic package.
He said he has already made $2.55 billion in investment commitments, mostly coming from the U.S. energy sector. Ramos 1 also said the purchase of a 747 300-series jet from Boeing in Seattle is a symbol of the economic partnership he hopes to foster with the United States.
He will fly home in the new jet when he returns to the Philippines.
Ramos said he wishes to maintain the friendship between the United States and the Philippines with this visit and looks tor ties not to be military, as they were in the past, but from a sovereign partnership.

AT&T donates much needed computer lab for department
By Carolyn Bates
Staff Writer
As part of its University Equipment Donation Program, AT&T recently donated $117,000 worth of computer equipment to the USC Department of Communication Arts and Sciences.
The grant provides a main computer linked to 20 workstations, establishing a computer lab for students preparing for careers in communications-relat-ed fields.
"The equipment gives students the tools to conduct some research and statistical analysis, as well as get real-life experience with the computers," said Jeff Mallory, an AT&T account executive.
Mallory said USC was among a small group of universities selected for the donation from over 50 grant proposals the company received this year. Communications professors Lynn Miller, Margaret McLaughlin and Patricia Riley submitted the proposal for the lab.
"We had to write a grant proposal that was about 10 pages long, explaining our current facilities and making a case for how AT&T's lab would enhance our program," said Miller, an associate professor of communication arts and sciences.
The department was notified a few months after the proposal was submitted that it would receive the host computer, workstations, modem and printer.
Because the department has never had a computer lab, members of the department feel the lab will have a great impact on how courses are taught.
"It will do a tremendous amount," Miller said. "We have not had a statistics lab or com-
fiuter lab to teach the basic tools or statistics and method courses."
Undergraduate communications majors are required to take a research course that involves statistics and requires computer work. Miller said the lack of a computer lab made such courses extremely difficult.

Senator speaks to College Republicans
By Sean Conley
Staff Writer
California State Senator and USC alumnus John Lewis told a large group of College Republicans last Wednesday that hard work and political perseverance is the route aspiring public leaders will take to make tneir dreams come true.
The former assemblyman from Orange County highlighted his early efforts as a USC College Republican and his intensive involvement in youth politics during the 1970s as an effective example of his philosophies.
"I came to USC during the tail-end of campus radicalism when all kinds of liberal political activism was going on," Lewis said. "Although Republicans were hoplessly out-
numbered back then, it was a fun time to be in school."
He said although the USC student body and administration was primarily liberal and left-wing, campus conservatives did win a few victories.
"When Jane Fonda came to campus, several students wheeled a Gallows to the center of campus and placed it by Tommy Troian. During her speech, they held a mock trial and hung Fonda in effigy for treason," Lewis said.
Lewis explained about half the audience applauded the action while the other half was shouting obscenities and screaming insults.
Lewis also had fond memories of the Daily Trojan. "The Daily Trojan was not much
more than a left-wing rag. In fact, some students even called it the Daily Treason."
But Lewis was not content with just merely criticizing the political opposition while at USC, he wrote for the strictly conservative, but now defunct Free Trojan.
Lonny Snyder, membership director for the USC College Republicans, had nothing but praise for Lewis' political career.
"His belief in youth politics and that students can really make a difference is truly inspiring," Snyder said. "When I hear that people like John Lewis, Pat Nolan and Dennis Brown all went to the state legislature within five years after college, I see early involvement essential for anyone considering a stellar political career."
